Chapter 182 The mantis stalks the cicada
"Damn it, you still dare to resist?"
Shen Zhidong dragged the second in command up and started beating and kicking him. Soon, the man was covered in bruises.
He even felt that his vision was becoming increasingly blurred and he could not even see the torches in the yard. At this moment he suddenly remembered that he was a scholar, so why did he end up in such a situation?
Shen Zhidong's move seemed to have given everyone some inspiration. Whenever they encountered someone who resisted fiercely, two or three of them would surround him and beat him up first. If he still didn't behave himself, it meant they hadn't beaten him enough.
Shen Zhiqiu also did not forget to shout at the bandit brothers:
“I know most refugees are forced to come here, but as long as you behave yourself, we won’t do anything to you.
By then you will be able to pass through the checkpoints safely and settle in the North.
Don't yell at me now about showing mercy or not. I don't trust any of you at the moment, so just stay still and I promise you'll be fine."
His words were polite, but he was ruthless when he attacked. Not only did he tie their hands tightly behind their backs, he also tied their legs.
At this time, Shen Youyou and her sisters appeared with their little kids. They had been guarding the door with the boys because they were afraid that someone might struggle to death and hurt them.
At this time, listening to the chaotic noises around them, the children and girls were a little scared. The roars and screams continued, intertwined, and it was a bit creepy.
Shen Youyou was okay. She was not a brave person. She just knew that these people were like grasshoppers in autumn and could not jump anymore.
However, because everyone in the village had been drinking before, and the Pueraria wine was very strong and had a strong smell of alcohol, some people couldn't stand it after drinking this strong liquor.
The sour and stinky smell from the vomit was so overpowering that she couldn't accept it. Her stomach couldn't help but churn and she squatted beside it and vomited violently.
Emma! It smells so bad!
Shen Youyou's move was like opening a water outlet. Several girls couldn't stand it and vomited. Even some little kids started dry heaving.
The expressions on everyone's faces were uglier than crying.
Shen Zhiqiu warned: "If you can't stand it, don't come over. Take your brothers and sisters and hide away."
In fact, tonight's operation was only for the Shenjia Village people, and they did not bring Meng Yuanwai's family. They had only known each other for a short time, so it was better to be on guard at the most critical moment.
But they left a lot of food in the cave and asked Mr. Meng and his family to help look after it.
You can't rob a bandit's den and take away food!
There is really nothing we can do about this.
And what the old men meant was:
"The bandit camp may be out of food. At worst, we can rob the bandits. Another point is to test them. If the food left in the cave is gone, we can see the true nature of our family.
If the grain really helps them and doesn't run away with the grain, then they will be treated as relatives of Mr. Meng in the future."
We really can't blame them for judging others by their own mean standards. We can only say that in this world, if you don't be more careful, you may die without knowing the reason.
At this moment, Grandma Guo, who had been planning to strip a bandit of his clothes and give them to the poor woman, suddenly spoke up:
"Oh, how come there is still money on you?"
The old ladies who were busy comforting those women turned around and looked at the silver coin weighing about two taels in Grandma Guo's hand.
"Real money?"
Grandma Guo didn't mind the dirtiness, she took a bite directly, looked at the obvious teeth marks on the broken silver, and nodded vigorously: "Really, really, white silver!"
Before Shen Zhiqiu could speak, Master Shen also became excited and waved his hand: "Quick, Ma Zi, Fugui, go ahead and search them all. They have silver on them."
Shen Zhiqiu was helpless: "First, collect all the weapons to prevent them from having too many people and giving us a chance to take advantage of us if we are not careful enough."
Emma, when it comes to collecting spoils, Shen Youyou doesn't submit to anyone but the grandmothers.
A dozen old ladies from Shenjia Village rushed up and pressed down the bandits and started searching.
He was still shouting, "We have to do the job of finding money. When we were young, you uncles couldn't even hide a penny on yourselves."
Mrs. Fang said: "If it's not in her arms, then it must be in her crotch."
Upon hearing this, Shen Youyou hurriedly ran away with her sister, brothers and sisters.
I could also hear Second Grandma Tian Cuifen saying from behind: "Oh, I knew my sister-in-law was cunning. She didn't search anyone else but went after the leader. She is so cunning."
Shen Youyou looked back and happened to see her grandmother and second grandmother, each holding down a bandit leader and starting to plunder, even taking off the bandit's socks.
I also heard Second Grandma say, "This bandit leader is different. The material he's wearing is silk. It's just right for my old man to wear it later. Hey! What is this? Why is it so light and fluttering?"
Old Madam Fang was also surprised: "It can't be a banknote, can you take a quick look at the denomination?"
The second grandmother looked innocent: "I can't read either!"
Shen Zhiqiu didn't have time to look at the silver notes, because he was searching for weapons, which was the most important thing: "Search for the silver notes first, and we will count them together later."
After searching the eldest boss, Old Lady Hua also found some banknotes, but she didn't look at them carefully and went straight to the third boss who was dressed better.
In fact, Tian Cuifen had already set her sights on the third in command. Judging from his physique and appearance, she thought he was the eldest in command.
Seeing that his sister-in-law was one step faster than him, he got angry and said, "Sister-in-law, you better take it easy and don't take advantage of other guys. My brother is jealous."
Otherwise, the two of them could quarrel for half their lives. It can only be said that they are really the right people and neither of them will give in.
"Bullshit, these are just a bunch of bandits. I took advantage of them and made them snot bubbles."
Old Madam Fang at the side also joined in the fun: "When our Sister Hua was young, she was the prettiest young wife in Shenjia Village. This jerk is not even worthy of drinking Sister Hua's foot washing water."
Seeing this scene, not only Shen Youyou and Li Jingshu were stunned, even the women who were originally crying had dazed expressions on their dirty faces.
Even the bandits forgot to struggle and were in a daze for a moment. Could it be that a group of female queens had arrived?
At this time, Old Lady Hua waved at the stunned women and said, "What are you standing there for? Come on, start searching. Keep whatever you find. It can be used as travel expenses when the time comes. Stop crying."
If you really hate someone, look at that familiar face, who has bullied you, there is a knife over there, just stab him in the crotch, and vent your anger! "
The other old ladies followed suit:
"Don't be so desperate. If you want to hate someone, hate the bad guys. Don't blame yourself. It's not easy for us to survive in this world.
If you have injuries, you can ask my wives to take a look. They think the injuries are not serious.
Just vent your anger on yourself, do whatever you want, just don’t kill him, we have a little kid at home, don’t let him get scared in the middle of the night.”
